Super Bowl parties are a traditional way for Americans to come together and celebrate the biggest game of the year with their closest friends and family, and the importance of delivering a mean spread cannot be underestimated. With the average Super Bowl lasting four hours including pre and post-match analysis, people tend to get snacky during the game.
As the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Las Vegas on February 9, families will be getting ready to prepare for one of the biggest social events on the American calendar.
It could also be that you’re watching the game alone on the couch, but the same pressure applies about having the right snacks within your reach. After all, no one wants to interrupt watching the game to go get more food supplies.

Beyond the usual array of potato chips and candy, chicken wings, nachos and fried cheese delicacies are often associated with Super Bowl Sunday parties.
And as long as you pair them with a selection of sweet dessert treats and a deluge of drinks – both soft and alcoholic – you can’t go much wrong in providing the best snacks for your guests.
The best Super Bowl snacks
Crispy potato skins
These are always a crowd favorite, especially when they’re filled with cheese and bacon, and can be prepared several days in advance.
Homemade guacamole
It is easy to whip together in a matter of minutes and quickly tames anything that’s too hot.
Nachos
Mix together some jarred salsa season and a zesty mixture of ground beef and refried beans, with a sprinkling with green onions, tomatoes and ripe olives, to give a refreshing topping on your tortilla chips.
Air-fryer BBQ chicken wings
Rather than roasting or frying the wings, make sure they’re cooked in an air fryer so they come out extra crispy without the mess and cover them with a sweet and tangy BBQ dressing.
Chicken/beef sliders
Use ground chicken or smashed beef patties to assemble a pile of burgers and people will leave your party feeling happy and satisfied. You can even find a vegetarian or vegan patty for people with plant-based diets.
Mozzarella sticks
With a crispy batter and melted cheese inside, only the fussiest eaters will stay away from this guaranteed hit of a dish.
Chili cheese fries
A favorite side dish in American restaurants, the combination of chili, cheese and fries is a winning combination. Add bacon and pickles for more variety.
